RSS feeds

Discovery Exercise (option 1)

Here is a link to my bloglines account:

I am so glad to have learned more about RSS as a part of the Lib 2.0 program. Before RSS, I had to wade through my inbox for site/group updates or I had to visit individual sites for updates (which could/can take forever). Now, I have a way to receive updates from more of my favorite sites in a much faster way.

For work and personal use, I can skim through lots of info at a clip and click on anything interesting or pertinent for work.

RSS will make it easier (or is making it easier), I think, for librarians/info staff to stay current in issues/info relevant to library work. If librarians publish some of their work-related newsreader accounts for public use, then patrons and other library professionals may benefit from reading about libary issues or innovations in an easily accessible format.
